I'm not sure whether anyone can see yesterday's videos: they certainly took so long to load that I didn't type anything afterwards.  This morning I missed the lovely pink sunrise (well, I saw it from bed), walked in cloud, missed the sunshine while I did chores, then did the gardening in cloud! Sometimes it doesn't quite go as planned! Still always worth getting out though.

Whatever the weather there are some fantastic parasol fungi around at the moment: the dog is in this one for scale (or maybe because he wanted a treat!)

I left this one for others to see but sometimes it is worth getting a different view of things in nature.  I love the gills on the underside and annulus, or ring,  around the stem where there was a partial veil as the cap expanded.  In some species, like this, it can be moved up and down the stem.

I was also thinking about the amazing root systems of trees, having passed this one with roots exposed on the bank. Estimates vary (depending on the growth conditions) but tree roots can spread up to 8 times the width of the canopy.  They certainly spread beyond it in most cases, which is why so many roadside trees start to die back.

I definitely need to visit this bank when the sun is on it but I can't use that excuse now: must get on with some chores!
